Praise for earlier Phryne Fisher mysteries..."A charming, sexy, independent, and candid heroine." -Library Journal starred review of Murder in Montparnasse It's 1929, and girls are going missing. Little, pretty, golden-haired girls. Three of them are pregnant, poor girls from the harsh confines of the Magdalene Laundry. Polly Kettle, a pushy, self-important girl reporter with ambition and no sense of self preservation, decides to investigate and promptly goes missing herself.It's time for Phryne and Dot to find Polly Kettle before something quite irreparable happens. It's all piracy and dark cellars, convents and plots, murder and mystery...and the decidedly raven-haired Phryne finally finds out if blondes really do have more fun. Kerry Greenwood has written eighteen books in the Phryne Fisher series with no sign yet of Miss Fisher hanging up her pearl-handled pistol.
